ENGLISH
To stop the engine using the Trigger Start feature:
1. Release the trigger of the gun
2. The engine will turn “OFF” approximately 15 seconds
after the trigger is released.
3. Press the Trigger Start switch to the “Off” position.
4. Press the engine switch to the “Off” position.
5. Rotate the fuel valve to the “Off” position.
6. Depressurize system
a. Turn off water supply.
b. Point gun/wand in safe direction. (Away from
people, animals or electrical outlets)
c. Depress trigger to depressurize system.
7. Turn off and unplug all hoses. Never start or stop the
pressure washer unless the water supply is turned on.
NEVER disconnect the high pressure discharge hose from
the machine while the system is pressurized.
WARNING
The pressure washer can remain pressurized even if the
engine is not running. Turn engine/motor off, turn water
supply off and squeeze gun trigger 2-3 times.
WARNING
OPERATION
If the trigger is released and then pulled before 15
seconds has elapsed, the engine will continue to run. This
allows the unit to continue running while the operator
stops washing momentarily to move the unit or the object
being washed.
NOTE
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea
level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and
air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power will be reduced
approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of elevation
above sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot
be changed by adjusting the engine. At high altitudes
increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the
increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high
altitude issues can include hard starting, increased fuel
consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural
power loss, Champion Power Equipment can provide a
high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main
jet and installation instructions can be obtained by
contacting Customer Support. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the
Champion Power Equipment internet site.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude
for the application of the high altitude carburetor main
jet is listed in the table below.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet
it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For
this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the
carburetor. Select the correct main jet part number
corresponding to the carburetor code found on your
particular carburetor.
Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations
lower than the recommended minimum altitude can
damage the engine. For operation at lower elevations, the
standard main jet must be used. Operating the engine
with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude
may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency
and performance.
WARNING
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks
or longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine
and fuel storage.

NEVER turn the water supply off before turning the
engine/motor off.
